Re: (ET) Large Frame Mower Deck

["RJ Kanary" <rjkanary nauticom net>]

     One of the most insidious causes of 'striping', is how the blades are
sharpened.The outer end MUST be ground back, so that the sharpened end of
the blade has a ninety degree corner.If the end of the blade is not
'square', 'striping 'will occur.
    Too high of a travel speed will make it even more of a concern.
